The periphrastic past in Catalan is an alternative to the preterite. It is formed by using anar as an auxiliary verb followed by the infinitive.

vaig perdre

vas perdre

va perdre

vam perdre

vau perdre

van perdre

There is an alternative form of the imperfect subjunctive in Spanish, which is more similar to Portuguese. Simply replace -ra- with -se- for all conjugations:

vendiera / vendiese

vendieras / vendieses

vendiera / vendiese

vendiéramos / vendiésemos

vendierais / vendieseis

vendieran / vendiesen

The future subjunctive is only used in formal or literary Spanish, but it is easy to conjugate since it is nearly identical to the imperfect subjunctive forms. The future subjunctive in Portuguese is very common and the same endings are used for the personal infinitive. For regular verbs, the personal infinitivein Portuguese is identical to the future subjunctive.

Portuguese

vendiere

vender

vendieres

venderes

vendiere

vender

vendiéremos

vendermos

vendiereis

venderdes

vendieren

venderem

There is an alternative form of the past perfect in Portugueuse which only uses one word rather than an auxiliary verb + past participle. These conjugations are quite similar to the imperfect subjunctive conjugations using -ra- in Spanish. However, this simple form is only used in formal or literary Portuguese. (Note that the imperfect subjunctive in Spanish using -ra- can also be used in formal or literary language as an alternative to the compound past perfect.)
